Hi Craig: I agree with muse. The problems almost always will show up later on duringg life cycles in terms of reliability problems. While the solder joints may look acceptable right after production there is no guarantee of meeting the reliability r

Hi, We have been soldering lead free BGA's onto products with lead based paste, and we have had no increase in defects at all. We have used a standard lead paste profile, so we are not altering the temps anything from what's recommended by the paste

what content of leadfree solder ot type leadfree solder should i use to avoid the leadwires being thin after dipping to solder pot.

Tin is an excellent solvent. So, whether using lead-free or leaded solder, your wire will neck to one degree or another if the material of the wire dissolves in the metal of the solder.

We have a customer transitioning slowly to lead free due to necessity rather than a need to comply i.e. some of their BGAs can only be purchased Pb free only. So for this we would want to produce them a leadfree soldered PCB (not necessarly RoHS comp

yep, only SMT reflow.

Hi, i tried to search but am hving trouble finding discussions on leaded parts being used in leadfree soldering process. So, i need some inputs from expert members here. Will it work if a component plated with SnPb will be used in a lead free sold

Is it safe to assume that you're only talking about SMT reflow here?

Thank you! sorry, i just realized my posted question was not very specific.. no, it's not a BGA part, it's just a standard surface mount device and the only leaded part are the leads.

If your part will withstand the higher pbfree reflow temp you should be fine. We have done this on limited basis in pbfree transistion with no reported reliability issues.
